SaaS Updates for May 19, 2016

Yesterday, Google released an update that allows users to embed charts from Google Sheets in Google Docs and Slides and update them with a single click. Google also introduced a feature that makes it easier to open Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides on your Android and iOS devices when you’re not online. And finally, Microsoft announced the release of four new edX online training courses for Microsoft Exchange Server 2016.

Embed Charts from Google Sheets in Google Docs and Slides and Update Them with a Single Click – Charts help you display data in a visually compelling way. At work, the same chart may be used across multiple documents and presentations, to help you better convey your message and strengthen your argument. If that chart changes, it can be tedious and time-consuming to replace it in each and every file. To save you valuable time, we’re now making it possible to update your chart with a single click—without ever needing to leave your document or presentation.

Opening Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides Files on Mobile Now Easier When You’re Offline – We know that internet connections can be spotty when you’re working on your phone on the go. And we recognize that sometimes you need access to a file you didn’t remember to make available offline. With this launch, we’ll make it easier to open Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides files on your Android and iOS devices when you’re not online. Starting today, any Docs, Sheets, or Slides files you’ve recently worked on will be automatically synced to your mobile device, so you can open them even if you don’t have an internet connection.
